SO powerful were the words of Christ Jesus in their effect upon the sick, the sinning, and even upon the dying that people said in amazement (Luke 4:36), "What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out."
Jesus spoke as he was moved by the Word of God. To him the Word of God expressed the will of God, and all his works show that he completely understood the divine will. He used very few words in accomplishing his healings. His perfect knowledge of the creative effect of God's will did the work.
John, the disciple of Christ Jesus, grew to understand the Word as the expression of the deific will and grasped in large measure that it manifests the supreme creative force. He wrote (1:1-3): "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
